In terms of the actual interviews, it's not that hard... I don't recall any technical questions or anything like that. Compared to what I've heard about other airline interviews, heck even a lot of regionals... Our interview is very laid back..

In terms of getting that final nod, the issue here is nobody seems to know what they are looking for. They interview a ton of people for just a few slots.. I think a lot of guys get their hopes up because they feel they did well at the interview. Only to wait and wait for no call. Our process has been interesting to say the least.. That may be changing.. For the better is anyone's guess.

But no, you don't have to be an astronaut or military fighter pilot with your name on the side of a F18 to get on.
